Like other holiday world bosses, you do not need to be max level anymore to queue up; players level 46 and higher can queue up. More chances at Swift Brewfest Ram and Great Brewfest Kodo on alts!The Cosmetic Brewfest items are transmoggable during the holiday:

There is also a special experience buff: Brewfest Enthusiast. High Tinker Mekkatorque and High Overlord Saurfang will give speeches by their camps at 6:15 AM and PM Pacific time, and then buff everyone nearby with this 2 hour buff which persists through death. If you need leveling tips to take advantage of this experience buff, check out our Legion Leveling Guide.

So besides the updated Direbrew loot and being able to transmog to the Brewfest clothes, there's nothing new this year, right?

So does the buff get handed out at 6:15 AM/PM Pacific time on EU servers as well?Since that would mean either 3:15 PM (i.e. work hours for those of us that are stuck in an office during weekdays) or 3:15 AM (i.e. sleepy time) in Sweden.

Admittedly, I haven't applied any deeper Google Fu to the question, but the info I can find in the comments here on Wowhead seem to state that it's not local server time.That seems... well, stupid, if that's case. I figured I'd use that buff to level up an alt I've had on the backburner for a while, but I guess that's only an option during the weekend then.

Fairly sure its 6:15 server time in EU, so 7:15 CEST or 6:15 CET.

I sure hope so. The comments for the buff Brewfest Enthusiast (some from previous patches though) states that it's not related to server time.However, it could be that it's only for US servers, and the EU servers time the event based on some European timezone like GMT or CET.

It's been a while since I was there, but I'm pretty sure the buff is given at 7:15 and 19:15 CEST on EU servers.

Love the song during Brewfest, but sadly there's nothing new this year. :(

This is one holiday I am never upset with when new things fail to show, can't lie. I like having chances at the mounts but I really love the music and atmosphere. I go to things like this irl whenever I find them xD my most recent was a ren faire pub crawl, and boy that was a riot. Someone thought my dad and I were married and made a joke about us and we were both so confused and drunk we had no idea what was going on. Good times....

Previously Direbrew's Bloodied Shanker?bonus=3628 Direbrew's Bloodied Shanker has been unable to be used for transmog. I hope that changes this year. Anyone know further info on this?

As a Pandaren monk for the Horde, I've been waiting for this the whole year... mainly because I didn't had 110 back then to go and kill Coren.*raises mug*

Cheers!

I would love it if the trinkets upgraded 5 ilvls (Upgrade 1/2) when you were tipsy and 10 ilvls (Upgrade 2/2) when you were smashed. ;)
